Good would seem to be contextual. Good for me? You? Us? Humanity? Life?

Can a good atheist be better than a good christian? Discuss!

Set as an essay in RI many moons ago. My answer, it all depends what you mean by good. ;)

Well, if you define 'good' as 'following God's Law', then no atheist can ever be good. Which must be what those hater Christians are doing, because most of the Christians I have known in my 38 years have been utter a-holes with no thought except for themselves... except on Sunday morning.

While, every single atheist I have met has been polite, kind, and intelligent.

Admitedly, it's a slightly biased sample. But for any of my definitions of the word 'good', atheists win, hands down. BTW: My definition of the word 'good' includes being able to critically analyze ones own behavior for inconsistancies and hypocritical concepts. We all have them, at least thinking people can self-reflect and identify them, if not completely remove them.
